Sydney based trio Mansionair return with ‘Violet City’

Grammy nominated, trio Mansionair return with new single ‘Violet City’, released via Glassnote Records – and you can listen to it now on the Shoot Music – New Releases playlist.

‘Violet City’ is reminiscent of left-of-centre UK acts such as WildBeasts and Alt-J, blurring the lines between electronic stylings and traditional pop structures but with added cinematic and expansive production.

Sydney based Mansionair were born when multi-instrumentalist & producer LachlanBostock joined with folk singer JackFroggatt and jazz drummer AlexNicholls to collaborate on ‘HoldMeDown’ – the chemistry between the trio was instant and ‘Hold Me Down’ hit one million views in just two months.

At the tail end of 2016, Mansionair released bristling track ‘Easier’, which has now reached over 12 million streams, a testament to the fanbase they’ve created in such a short period of time.

While working on their latest offering, the band collaborated with Seattle duo ODESZA on their lead single ‘LineOfSight’, which has since climbed Billboard’s Alternative and Dance/Electronic charts and was nominated for a Grammy.

Following support tours with LondonGrammar, CHVRCHΞS and alt-J, the band announce a headline date at London’s MothClub (May 16), as well as a performance at The Great Escape Festival.
